> Iridium (except at the poles, where it's Iridium and HF)

a note that part of the DoD iridium market where Iridium was previously the only ultra-high-latitude/polar coverage part is served by the DoD's own molniya orbit satellites which provide full polar coverage. the orbits of these are designed to be at apogee and long dwell time directly above high latitudes.

the DoD is still a big part of iridium's revenue stream in general of course.
